Thread: Visa and Mastercard boycott Crimea - how big a problem? Mainland Russia next?

And... how many systems we will have in the end?
BTW, we already have a mature system:
Китай поставит
Бери и пользуйся

What's the system? Sberbank?

I wouldn't mind if an alternative system became available in Europe.
All systems available here are totally in the hands of US interests and CIA.
If they don't like somebody, they'll stop them from receiving payments.

Unionpay card as in Maxmixivs post. https://globalpaymentsinc.co.uk/unionpay.html
I just remember that I once implemented it as a payment method on an ecommerce site for work. However I believed at the time that it was some dodgy Western Union type arrangement. Turns out it's an alternative to Visa Mastercard and Amex.

I'd recommend free thinking people to get this card asap. It's always good to be an early adopter of stuff like this. Since there is no fee, there is nothing to lose from getting it.
Then start paying with it as often as you can and don't use Visa and Mastercard unless you have to.

China is not my favourite country on the planet, but right now I'd rather use their system than the one that the US is using to silence and punish people, and groups they don't like.
